| - So once again, I went to a place based on really good reviews, and once again, i was disappointed.
Went to Sandwich Max on a Saturday at 2pm. There was three people working. There were maybe 3 other people eating sandwiches already and we were the only people in line. I mention this because it was relatively slow and the place was really dirty. My boyfriend and I decided to eat in and every table was dirty (crumbs, pieces of toppings from sandwiches like stray pieces of lettuce, water stains from cups, etc) and the floor was pretty unclean too. Oh well, maybe we had just missed the lunch rush?
Anyway, for the food, I ordered a cheesesteak with peppers and mushrooms; my boyfriend got capicola, ham and cheese. The cheesesteak, was flat out horrible! If you've ever been to jersey mikes and get a cheesesteak, you can see them cooking the meat on the flattop. When I got the sandwich, it was clear that they have meat already chopped and cooked sitting in a cooler somewhere and they just microwave it. How do I know, the peppers and mushrooms were cold and the sandwich itself was dripping in water/juice whenever you picked it up. It was not right - That gets 1 star. The cold cut sandwich my boyfriend got, the meat was good, but the bread was old and the toppings skimpy. I get that this is a local place and probably has a lot of local support, but I'm really sick of local places resting on their 'local laurels' and then producing subpar product. It's like my boyfriend commented when we were trying to figure out why this got such high reviews 'It's like the sandwiches are made by people who hate their lives and eaten by people who hate their lives.' Maybe this is harsh, but I'm sick of paying money for food that isn't good. Sorry sandwich max, I don't mean to vent on you, but what I just experienced was not a 4.5 experience.
